Cigarette consumption in the
first quarter of 1952 was nearly
equal to the record set a year ago.

high.

BUS COUNTY AND Tiia wvlv
OLINA POWER AND LIGHT
COMPANY:
Since it was announced that
the Carolina Power and Light
Company had purchased the fran
chises and physical properties of
Tidewater Power Company, it has
been my intention to write an
"open letter" to the good people
of Columbus County and officials
of North Carolina Power and
Light Company, congratulating
both.
To the Carolina Power and
Light Company I can say that
they will enjoy doing business
with their many new friends of
Columbus County. No finer folks
are to be found anywhere. And
not only are they good people but
they are progressive people. Many
have been the times that I have
pointed to Columbus County, its
towns and citaens, as examples
of progress and opportunity.
There is no agricultural section
of the two Carolinas that can
offer more and it is fitting that
the county now-has shaken hands
with a neighbor and friend that
will open new eras of convenience,
opportunity and prosperity.
Having lived for many years in
Columbus County and being fam
iliar with the problems of ineffi
power service, „and having lived
3TY, Ν. C.
for eight years in apto^ndS^ht
by Carolina Power a to say
Company, I am ben°°v
a good word for this utih y.
" I sincerely believe it would be
impossible to do b^1"es®ou wm
finner company. And y
find this out for yourselvcsas th_
months pass by. CP &L
come one of the leading Ρ
enterprise power companies ο
nation, in my opinion, u χ
of the high type Pfrso™^nd_
employs and the service it rena
ers to its customers. As an ex
ample of this, during the eignt
years I have published a paper ι
Marion, S. C. I have never had
a power interruption.
Of course, for Columbus County
to realize the fullest service
this company it will taketune,
cooperation on the part of
trical consumers. First-class pow
er service is not something
can be realized over night, π
takes months of study and ρ
ning—and high finance. But you
may rest assured that if you want
adequate and satisfactory power
service in Columbus County, yo
are now doing business with the
people who can give it to you.
All they expect in return is your
cooperation and good will. ι
Again I say, with a sincere in
terest in the people of Columbus
County and the Carolina Power
and Light Company, it is my plea
sure to introduce two groups who
have so much in common.
Sincerely,
Lem Winsett,
Editor-Publisher
